accra_transit_gif

This repository is a tool that downloads an OSM history file and generates a GIF animation of the evolution of the transit data mapping.

For now, the code is very specific to Accra, Ghana, but feel free to adapt it to your region.

Requirements

To use this tool, you need :

• python3
• a headless firefox to make screenshots with geckodriver: https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases/download/v0.24.0/geckodriver-v0.24.0-linux64.tar.gz
• some python dependencies (see requirements.txt)

How to run

This tool requires OSM data with changesets infos. An OSM Login is required, so this tool doesn't download data anymore.

How to run on your computer

First of all, install dependencies.

Then follow the steps:

• check that the ./data directory is empty
• download requested data from https://osm-internal.download.geofabrik.de/ in the ./data directory
• change script params in ./config/config.ini file (if necessary)
• execute this command line python3 transit_to_gif.py.

How to run with docker

• install docker ^^
• check that the ./data directory is empty
• download requested data from https://osm-internal.download.geofabrik.de/ in the ./data directory
• change script params in ./config/config.ini file (if necessary)
• prepare "accra_transit_gif" docker image : docker build -f Dockerfile -t accra_transit_gif .
• run the program : docker run --rm -v /absolute/path/to/./data:/data accra_transit_gif

Note: To launch a terminal inside the container, run: docker run --rm -it -v /absolute/path/to/./data:/data accra_transit_gif bash
